Wheel weight inequality

[eyeballs]

So I had a bit of an off today when I found a slick section of road on a mountain run this morning before work. Rear passenger side wheel was terminally damaged (among a few other things). My current set of Kosei K1-TS wheels are from an older run that weigh only 10.8 lbs. The current model weighs 11.4 lbs. Anyone know what effect the extra .6 lbs on one wheel would cause if I just replaced the one damaged wheel?

I'm no expert, but I'd say for everyday driving, if they're the same size, you shouldn't even notice a difference, personal preference anyway.

Same offset? That could make a difference, like the RPF1's 15x7, which 35 offset vs. 41 offset weight different.

Personally I would run at least two of the same weight. Fronts or backs. But that's just my unjustified paranoia.

The offset is identical. +38 for both. I thought about buying two, but at that price I'd be better off putting the 15x7.5 miata wheelset on the 2 and getting a 15x9 setup for the miata (since the tires on the kosei set are shot as well). I went ahead and bought one kosei today, along with an inexpensive set of tires. If its an issue I guess I can always buy one more wheel. I noticed the alignment is off on that corner too now, so getting that straightened out may be a bigger issue.

Should be fine, ,6 isn't a lot to make a difference. Still funny that it has a different weight.
